Not news.... Please, stop making stupid people famous. Or at least, stop writing about them...

They're stupid, but also dangerously influential. They're important people to keep an eye on. This is news.

Who exactly do they influence?

He’s targeted young men with his message of materialism and misogyny.

According to an article or two, social media deliberately sends material created by these "influencers" to teenagers. So, to answer your question, teenagers.

Definitely news. This also sends a message to other people trying to mimic them.

Plus it's not only news. It's good news.

The fact that they're getting arrested is great news imo

I had never heard of this dude before he was arrested. But do you know who had? My thirteen year old daughter. I'm cool with the current turn of events.

While I agree and also complain about this, I draw the exception at reporting when justice is being served. Good god, what a way to start the day!
